Elevate your burger game with this gourmet Smoked Salmon Burger featuring layers of flavor and freshness in every bite. Perfectly seared smoked salmon filets are nestled between toasted burger buns and paired with creamy avocado slices, juicy tomato, and crisp red onion rings. A zesty homemade dill aioli, made with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a touch of lemon juice, ties everything together, while a bed of arugula adds a peppery crunch. With minimal prep time and maximum flavor, this quick and healthy burger is a seafood loverβs dreamβideal for lunch, dinner, or a show-stopping weekend treat.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.
Place the smoked salmon filets in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until heated through but not overcooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them in the skillet or under a broiler until golden brown. Set aside.
Cut the tomato into thin slices, and slice the red onion into thin rings. Peel and slice the avocado into thin, even slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh dill to create the aioli. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a handful of arugula or mixed greens on top of the aioli on each bun.
Layer the smoked salmon filets over the greens, followed by slices of tomato, red onion rings, and avocado slices.
Spread a little more aioli on the top half of each bun, then place it on top of the burger to complete the assembly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet smoked salmon burger!
